parasites and bugs under your skin are one of the few horror things that really like Get To Me so i approach it fairly cautiously - but i was sooo curious to read this since i loved UNBECOMING. and i am so glad i did!

sadia really knows how to twist and bend a pull a human body in such a way that you feel your own arms get heavy and your skin sagging. i really love horror fiction that stretch armstrongs the human body rather than just clean breaking it, like, how much can you bear and still be walking around, alive, working, and no one knows what's chafing and oozing and throbbing (and pupating and maggot...ing) within you? this was so gross and delicate like that. ew <3
